A survey of 700 adults from a certain region​ asked, "What do you buy from your mobile​ device?" The results indicated that 59​% of the females and 52​% of the males answered clothes. The sample sizes of males and females were not provided.

Answer:

a) the test statistic z = 1.891

the null hypothesis accepted at 95% level of significance

b) the critical values of 95% level of significance is zα =1.96

c) 95% of confidence intervals are  (0.523 ,0.596)

Step-by-step explanation:

A survey of 700 adults from a certain region

Given sample sizes [tex]n_{1} = 400 and n_{2} = 300[/tex]

Proportion of mean [tex]p_{1} = \frac{236}{400} = 0.59 and p_{2} = \frac{156}{300} = 0.52[/tex]

Null hypothesis H0 : assume that there is no significant difference between males and women reported they buy clothing from their mobile device

p1 = p2

Alternative hypothesis H1:- p1 ≠ p2

a) The test statistic is

[tex]Z = \frac{p_{1} -p_{2} }{\sqrt{pq(\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} )} } }[/tex]

where [tex]p = \frac{n_{1}p_{1} +n_{2}p_{2} }{n_{1}+n_{2}}= \frac{400X0.59+300X0.52}{700}[/tex]  

on calculation we get   p = 0.56    

now q =1-p = 1-0.56=0.44

[tex]Z = \frac{p_{1} -p_{2} }{\sqrt{pq(\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} )} } }\\ =\frac{0.56-0.52}{\sqrt{0.56X0.44}(\frac{1}{400}+\frac{1}{300} }[/tex]

after calculation we get z = 1.891

b) The critical value at 95% confidence interval zα = 1.96 (from z-table)

The calculated z- value < the tabulated value

therefore the null hypothesis accepted

conclusion:-

assume that there is no significant difference between males and women reported they buy clothing from their mobile device

p1 = p2

c) 95% confidence intervals

The confidence intervals are P± 1.96(√PQ/n)

we know that = [tex]p = \frac{n_{1}p_{1} +n_{2}p_{2} }{n_{1}+n_{2}}= \frac{400X0.59+300X0.52}{700}[/tex]

after calculation we get P = 0.56 and Q =1-P =0.44

Confidence intervals are ( P- 1.96(√PQ/n), P+ 1.96(√PQ/n))

now substitute values , we get

( 0.56- 1.96(√0.56X0.44/700), 0.56+ 1.96(0.56X0.44/700))

on simplification we get (0.523 ,0.596)

Therefore the population proportion (0.56) lies in between the 95% of confidence intervals  (0.523 ,0.596)

From a total population of 700 people who are used in this survey, the test statistics is 1.85, the critical value is 0.975 and the p value is 0.0644.

Population N = 700

n1 = females = 400

n2 = men = 300

x1: females who shop through device = 236

x2: males who shop through device = 156

p1 = x1/n1 = 236/400 = 0.59

p2 = x2/n2 = 156/300 = 0.52

The hypothesis used in the study

Null hypothesis

H0: p1 = p2

Alternate hypothesis

H1:p1 ≠ p2

test statistics calculation

[tex]\frac{0.59-0.52}{\sqrt{\frac{0.59(1-0.59)}{400} +\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{300} } }[/tex]

= 1.85

level of significance = 5%

This is a two sample test

1-0.005/2 = 1-0.025

= 0.975

p value

2 x p(1.85)

2x(1-0.9678)

= 0.0644

The p value is greater than the level of signicance. We fail to reject the null hypothesis.

c. Find the Margin of error

z critical at 0.05 = 1.96

[tex]1.96*\sqrt{0.59*(1-0.59)/400+0.52*(1-0.52)/300}[/tex]

= 0.0743

Confidence interval

(0.59-0.52) - 0.0743,

(0.59+0.52) + 0.0743

(0.0043, 0.1443)

There is 95% confidence that the males and the females that buy clothes from the devices fall within this interval.
